Carlos's list of wins over the likes of Charnley, Rosi, Busso, Kosaka, Bizzarro, Lane, Loi, Matthews, Torres, Lopes, Vaillant, Takayama, Presley...
Tyson, Barrera, McGuigan, Hatton, Lewis, Calzaghe, Billy Thompson, Clinton Woods, Hamed, Steve Collins, Minter, Conteh, Johnny Nelson, Tua,...
@Xplosive, yeah the Jones thing is puzzling and disturbing.
I'm still silently marvelling at the specialness of boxingfan's statement that what he took from Saul Alvarez losing a decision against Bivol is...
Watanabe from the latter half of his reign might get outworked, or the earlier version from the Kim and first Poonterat fights etc. The version...
And Lora, just seen that X mentioned him.....
Shit, I forgot about Arguello, Canto and Chocolatito amongst others. It's hard tbf, that top five could swap quite easily.
Duran Marcel Medel Jofre Ortiz HMs to Napoles, Rodriguez, Gavilan, Laguna, Accavallo, Saldivar, Locche and Laciar.
UK: Conteh, Sibson and Johnny Owen. US: Louis, Armstrong and Saad Muhammad. Mexico: Saldivar, Medel and Yaqui Lopez. PR: Ortiz, Benitez and de...
It's true enough that Canelo can't counter on the move or slow calculated retreat like Hopkins could but I'm not confident that it's enough to...
If he was able and focused enough to keep his hands moving from behind the earmuffs and determined to consistently try to rough Benitez up at...
Probably Alvarez in a competitive fight, though I'd be cheering the hard-drinking rust belt alky on. Alvarez is a lesser fighter than the version...
Fine post Georgie
:emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing: I just died when I saw it lol
Sorry for taking so long to respond btw, and I'm aware of Happy's stamina problems, though I tend to think they were a lot more prominent in his...
If Inoue had cleanly beaten a fighter with the style and skillset comparable to a Davila or Lujan type fighter I'd find it easier to place belief...
Lora, he was just a more skilled and talented fighter at his peak and I don't see any stylistic advantage for Inoue. The chasm in quality between...
Armstrong did have real KO power at feather. More than just being a heavy-handed cumulative puncher. Not quite on the level of Lopez or Arguello...
Great post mate, a really good description of Armstrong's style.
Pat M over on ESB said that he'd knock Canzoneri out in a round, and he's trained people. Knows that you have to keep your elbows in and your feet...
Dempsey 1234 was very reliable, honest and well-connected in the sport, more than any of us. If grey says it's true I'm inclined to believe him,...
I could see Gonzalez beating Roman, Watanabe and Tapia on initial thought, though not having really sat down and seriously pondered those fights....
He'd have probably beaten Carbajal and Gonzalez but maybe not Arbachakov and Too Sharp. Sasakul would have been an interesting one, he was a...
I didn't do that though mate, I just called the statement itself ignorant, which it is. I've never really seen that type of thing being levelled...
If 3 pounds is nothing, get Inoue to drop it and clean out super fly instead rather than the wasteland at bantam.
Gonzalez's career is already defined. He's 34 and in his fourth weight division, past his best already fighting naturally bigger men and with...
Benny Leonard Driscoll McFarland Gans Moore Charles Ross Griffith Napoles RJJ Jofre Hopkins Loads. Ortiz, Monzon and the like sprung...
In terms of his super-fly ranking.....I dunno. His body of work there is good but so are the ones there of many other fighters. The likes of Moon,...
I agree with George and Jel other than that I thought Roman was hard done by in the first Sor Rungvisai fight and the Estrada rematch. It takes...
And compensation from the Lord for being a ginger cunt without a neck.
